The pipe 17 has its forward or front side connecting with the front end of the casing 1 and is preferably formed integral therewith while the rear side and the wide sides connecting the front and rear sides extend through the top 2 of the casing 1 to a distance slightly below the bottom of the mixing chamber and slightly above the bottom of the casing 1, thus inclosing and protecting the mixing chamber and lower turned end of the pipe 17.

Extending upwardly from the rear end of the main or body portion 1 is the small pipe 20 l-iaviug its lower end open and in communication with the interior of the body portion 1 and a reliiovable cap 21 upon its upper end. This pipe permits of liglning the burner by means of a match, or the like, by inserting the, ame" into this pipe to ignite the combusti le mixture of gas and air finding its way through the small openings 22 formed by the registering notches in the edges of the two parts of the burner.

The pipe 20 and the air conducting pipe 19 are braced near their upper ends by the pipe or rod 23 having its opposite ends secured to the pipes 19 and 20, said bracing pipe serving as a handle for the heater.

An air supply pipe 24, for supplying air to the interior of the main or body portion 1 is located at the rear end of said body portion and the rear wall of'the pipe is pref erably integral with the rear wall ofv the main or body portion. The front and side walls of this pipe extend downwardly through the top 2 to a pointbelow the burner and slightly above the bottom 3. As the opposite ends of the pipe 24 are opened, air will readily pass downwardly into the in terior of the casing 1 to mix with the air. and gas mixture as the same escapes through the burner openings 22, the air being drawn downwardly through this pipe and through the pipe 19 by suction created as the products of combustion escape through the products of combustion-exit pipes as will be later described.

Projecting upwardly at an angle from each corner of the top 2 of the body 1 and directedtransversely of the body portion is a products of combustion escape pipe or heating pipe 25. Each pipe 25 is continued at this angle until it reaches either the pipe 19 or the pipe 24, after which it is directed A upwardly, as shown at- 26 against the side of *Jthe pipe which it touches until it is about even with the upper end thereof. Both ends ofthe pipes 25 are opened and the products of combustion escape from the body portion 1 through these pipes, heating said pipes and the water or air surrounding the same.

Owing to the peculiar construction of the burner and its location'within the body portion'l and the points at which the esc pe pipes are positioned, it will be evident that a great quantity of heated products of combustion will find an outlet through the exit pipe 25,-"thoroughly heating the same and whatever 'may come in contact therewith.

By extending a portion of each front pipe 25 upwardlyagainsta side of the air conducting pipcs 19 and 24, the latter will be heated and'.consequently increase the temperature of the air traveling downwardly through the pipes 19 and to the air and gas mixing chamber, thus supplying warm or heated air to the mixing chamber to mix with the gas entering the chamber from the reduced turned end 16 of the gas pipe 1'? making a more readily combustible mixture for the burner, also supplying warm or heated air to the interior of the main or body portion 1 to mix with the air and gas as they escape from the burner openingsto be ignited. t

This heater is especially adapted for heating water within a tank, bath tub or the like. and is adapted to be placed within the water, the bottom 3 resting upon the bottom ofthe tank or other water containing device in which it is desired to heat aquantity of water. The upper end of the pipe 17, is connected by means 'of a flexible tube or other suitable connection, (not shown) to an ordinary gas jet or other pipe connecting with the source of supply gas and the valve 18 opened to allow the gas to travel downwardly through the pipe 17 and through the lower turned end 16 thereof into the mixing chamber. A suitable quantity of air will trayel downwardly through the air supply pipe 19 and into the mixing chamber, thoroughly mixing with the gas. The mixture ofnair and gas will find its way from the mixing chamber through the pipe formed by the halves 12 and 13 and the connecting cross pipe formed by the halves 6 and 9 into the arms of the burner, escaping through the. burner openings 22 formed by the registering notches in the halves of the burner. After the main or body portion 1 is filled with the combustible gases and the combustible gases have filled the pipe 20, the cover 21 thereof may be removed and the mixture ignited; after which the cap 21 may again be positioned. As the combustible mixture is consumed the products of combustipn, will escape through the outlet pipes 25. heating the water surrounding said pipes and also heating the air pipes 19 and 2 t. The escaping of the products of cor:- bustion through the pipes will create a suction andxlraw air downwardly through the air supply pipes 19 and 21- to the interior of the main or. body portion 1. suppiying the proper quantity of air to the burner to mix with the air and gas escaping through the openings 22. It will be noted that as the pipes 19 and 21 are heated by the hot products of combustion escaping ipeenei.

through the pipes 25 toeither side of-the pipes 19 and 24 the air supplied to the mixing chamber and to the interior of the main or hory portion 1 will be heated during its downward course through said air supply pipes, thus assisting in the ccnsuinmation of the combustible mixture.

The heater may be readily placed in position or removed and transported from place to place by means of the connecting and bracing handle 23 and owing to the peculier construction and arrangement of the various-parts itwill be evident that this heater Will be comparatively cheap to manufacture and highly efficient in the performance of its duties.

What I claim is;

A. device of the class described comprising a body portion, a burner Within said hotly portion, a mixing chamber connected with one arm of said burner and havingan upwardly directed open end, means for supporting the burner above the bottom of the body portion, a gas conducting pipe connectbody portion, extending some distance above,

the letter and inclosing said gas conducting pipe and said mixing chamber, a second air inlet pipe communicating with the opposite end of the body portion, an igniting tube projecting from the body portion adjacent one of said air inlet pipes, a removable cap for the upper end of said igniting tube, means for controllimg the supply .of gas to the mixing chamber for the burner, and outlet pipes communicating with said body portion adjacent the air inlet pipes.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
